Large Private Garages

A garage can be considered to be one of the most functional areas within any home. Of course, these locations will naturally come in different sizes. A small residential house may only offer a garage designed for a single car. Still, large and private garages can host numerous amenities that can be quite useful when tinkering around with any vehicle.

Planning Ahead

It is interesting to note that the plans for these garages will vary depending upon the needs of the owner. Some of the most impressive layouts even contain hydraulic lifts to enable access to the undercarriage of the vehicle. Robust overhead lighting is commonplace while efficient ventilation systems are present to help dissipate the buildup of carbon monoxide and other dangerous gases. Anyone who may be considering building such an area should keep these factors in mind.

Aesthetic Beauty

Some of the largest garages will tend to make use of any space in the best ways possible. A rather “open” feel tends to dominate these areas and as opposed to tiny rooms, spacious garages provide ample room for performing a variety of tasks. From painting a vehicle with an airless sprayer to undertaking a complete engine overhaul, comfort is always king.

Things to Keep in Mind

While such a garage is certainly to be envied, a good deal of thought must first take place in regards to its construction. An important area not to be overlooked is the floor itself. Always use an epoxy coating as opposed to normal paint. There are several benefits to be noted here. Not only is epoxy sealant waterproof, but many brands will have anti-slip materials included in their mixture. This will obviously help to enhance safety levels should the surfaces become slick. In a similar fashion, the paint used on the walls should be semi-gloss or a material called “eggshell”. These finishes are able to be washed; an obvious concern within any garage. When possible, make use of vertical tool storage units to maximise the amount of available space. If you require a good deal of lighting, it is a good idea to choose LED fixtures as opposed to incandescent bulbs. These will provide a crisper and whiter light while they also consume much less energy over time.

A large private garage can provide untold hours of enjoyment for the automobile enthusiast. Keeping these design concepts in mind will enable you to take advantage of such space while allowing you to relax within an inviting environment.
